Mass Effect 2 is currently free on Origin

Save the galaxy and £7.99.

Mass Effect 2 is currently free on EA Origin as part of its On The House promotion, giving PC gamers the chance to own and play one of the greatest action RPGs of all time.

The game would usually set you back £7.99. Origin Access members will, however, already have access to the Mass Effect 2 Deluxe Edition as part of the game vault - where you'll also find the first and third games.

Amusingly, the Origin game blurb gets Commander Shepard's name wrong, calling the character "Commander Shepherd".
